Opening night of Portland's Funniest Person contest, with a lot of the strongest competitors -- the ones who already work at Helium as MCs or features, including Metafilter's own msalt, Gabe Dinger, and Shane Torres.
This is a dozen comics doing 5-6 minutes sets of their best material. If you tell them you're a friend of Mark, you can get 2 for 1 tickets (2 for $10). If that's still a bit steep, memail msalt as he has a limited number of free tickets, first come first served.

Hello, Portland. I find myself unexpectedly in your vicinity for a few days. So, uh, you want to hang out or whatever?

Hello! I'm in town for three weeks and am making a point of staying out late on a school night to catch Baby Ketten karaoke at Mississippi Pizza (for those who don't know about it already, see
here) I would love to meet some fellow MeFites while I'm there.

...we haven't been to Green Dragon in awhile! Let's do that again. We can play that old favorite, "Which of these beers that we finally decided on aren't actually available, despite the fact that this list was printed half an hour ago?"

I'm going to be in Portland this Saturday and would love to meet you folks again. How about meeting at the BridgePort BrewPub for some afternoon beers before I catch the evening train back to Seattle?

I know several of us grow vegetable gardens. Is there any interest in an autumnal harvest-themed food meetup? Not sure what the best month would be; wouldn't necessarily have to be at the very end of autumn. Take some foodstuffs you've grown and either bring it raw or as (part of) a dish of some kind.

Our second meetup! (First meetup was
here.) Westmoreland Park, 11:30am, Picnic Site B, which is the picnic site closer to the playground according to the parks & rec guy.
Since this goes through the lunch hour let's make it a potluck!

Greg_Ace's place is the.. the place! Saturday April 7, start showing up around 4PM or so. Bring some potluck-y foods (Greg will probably smoke some meats for us) and/or beverages (fermented or non). Gaming is going to be a mix of One Thousand Blank White Cards and Cards Against Humanity, and maybe even some regular cards.
And who knows what else?!

Going to be headed over to
County Cork tomorrow night for ye olde Irish music around 7 (music is supposed to start ~7:30). Haven't been there for music before, but the food's pretty good and
the beer list is alright. Parking might be a bit iffy, though.
